Get the hand, pose it an interesting way, send them a photo, and you might win a free DS.

That's the craziest promotion I've ever seen...well, okay, the "name your newborn Turok" promotion was a bit crazier, but still, this is very odd.

[nods] I actually tried this, just to see what would happen. My info is registered with Nintendo, just because I registered my 'Cube (and a few of my games) back in the day for warranty purposes. Just click the button...and sure enough, a week or two later, UPS showed up at my door with a plastic white hand. Didn't cost a cent. And there wasn't any kind of paperwork stating that I'm obligated to do this or that or that the hand has to be returned or anything. They just give it to you, along with a little slip of paper that says "Touching is Good" and has the URL for the contest.

Still trying to decide what (if anything) I'm going to submit to the contest, though.

It is official: Nintendo has lost touch with reality. I have stated this before: Only a select developers have actually found creative uses for the dual screen, and I gather that most are more interested in the psp...

btw, does it seem as if video-game history is repeatin once more: back then Nintendo was using carts like with the ds, while Sony was using disc, like witht he psp....And I have heard that the psp discs are roughly what the dc discs could hold; am I misinformed?

Looks like, given that the DS is trouncing the PSP in terms of sales pretty badly at the moment and that the DS uses SD cards, not cartridges.

IF you want to talk about history repeating itself compare the Lynx with the original GameBoy.

My only complaint with the ds is that after so many hours running the stylus over the screen, it becomes scratched rather badly.

I am no expert, but I contribute the slump in psp sales to the much higher price, and cause the ds can also play sp games.

Sorry, I guess I was misinformed about the ds using carts. For idots like me, what are sd cards?

Only delevopers creative enough to use the touch screen have used it in there games. Isn't PSP almost all ports at the moment anyway?

Memory cards, tiny, mainly used in digital cameras. Much cheaper than those Sony memory sticks, so if homebrew were to come out on DS SD cards would be a much cheaper way of going about it

I've also heard that SD cards are pin-compatible with memory sticks, so the same reader can read both. Is that true?

whoa, not so fast dudes

I'm not sure if the DS uses what are technically Secure Digital cards or not (like the PSP's cards are "technically" memory sticks even though they're a different size), but they sure as heck aren't mutually compatible. DS games won't fit in any standard MM/CSD readers; they're too wide.

I either missed it, or I'm missing something. It says to return tommarrow to get a hand.

And it says to print out a PDF of a hand. :?
